About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

Magnesium Ninja has released Ascension, a freeware side-scrolling horror game for Windows set within a plague-ridden skyscraper.

Ascension gives players limited visibility in the skyscraper's dark corridors; while you have a mouse-controlled flashlight, it will attract attention from enemies, and your character will need to hold his breath in darkness in order to avoid being seen. It's creepy stuff! Developer Magnesium Ninja recommends playing in a dark room with headphones to get the most from the experience.
